I'm an Elvis Costello diehard fan. I think he's one of the greatest writers in music. He started putting music out in the late 70's and still puts out music today. There are so many great songs but if you could listen to Burnt Sugar Is So Bitter from the Look Now CD (2018), God Give Me Strength from Painted From Memory (1998 With Burt Bacharach). He's collaborated with Paul McCarntney. The man is a wordsmith and a musical genius. People either love him or they hate him.
His peers LOVE him!
Huge fan myself! One of my favorites is Indoor Fireworks.
@@wpollock1 I agree. There are so many great songs Elvis has put out. Soooo many. great songs!
People who don't like him must not like music.
Other songs, Radio Radio, Red Shoes, Watching the Detectives, Everyday I Write The Book
Elvis Costello is a brilliant artist
Explore more Elvis Costello- real name Declan McManus-his lyrics are genius - he’s a very prolific songwriter. He varies from rock to torch ballad to country- to smoky lounge - he is my ‘stranded on the island’ artist. Love his stuff!!
"Alison"is a surprising ballad also "I don't want to go to Chelsea" very FUNKY 🤗🤗
*Alison
They DO know his name was Declan McManus?
You dropped on a star here ..catch watching the detectives next awesome
Yes. Do that it is important.
"She" most beautifull love song.
So glad you found this Elvis…and this song! Nobody reacts to him and what a shame!
An excellent songsmith, you should check out 'Everyday I Write The Book' - my personal favorite.
He was born Declan Patrick McManus , with an Irish father who was a jazz musician.
He's great and his wife Diana Krall is amazing. Perhaps consider reacting to her as well. Keep up the great reactions
Also, check out his dad, Ross McManus, and you'll see where he gets it from.
How fun! I have not heard that song in years. Elvis Costello and other groups like him were part of we called the New Wave music. It was really unique and only lasted for a few years late 70's to early 80's then the sounds were kind of incorporated into mainstream music of the 80's. This music really popular when I was in high school. Disco was on its way out and people were looking for something new. Punk rock was also big at the time. Punk rock was very and aggressive and in your face, where as New Wave had some of the same vibe, but was not as hard edged. It was really big in LA where I was growing up. Other New Wave groups were Devo, and B52's. They also had a unique style with the tight, British cuts suits and narrow ties. It was sure a fun time for music so much variety.
Elvis Costello, Joe Jackson, and Graham Parker.... the three angry men of new wave!
If you've ever been to a pro sports event you'll hear this song....BTW, Elvis Costello is his stage bame.
This song was released in 78. Winds of the 80s starting to come through. Total party dance song.
Love, love, love Elvis Costello!! You should give Oliver's Army a listen. Great song!
He has said he will no longer perform this song. For reasons... Look it up.
Yeah GREAT song, but can't he substitute that word??
Elvis Costello Is A Legendary Music Icon With A Huge Catalog Of Great Music..His Father Was Also A Famous Musician.
Probably his biggest song is sadly relevant right now: "What's So Funny About Peace, Love and Understanding"
Yes, the great song Costello closes his 3rd album with, yet was written by the album's producer, the brilliant singer/songwriter, Nick Lowe
I owned a bar in the 80’s and if there was a lull in the air, I would play Pump It Up loud and the crowd would go nuts! 😁❤️
When there was radio channel wnew they go to time square to see Elvis and want to see him play live for first time
He’s currently on tour with his band The Attractions. Playing in England then cities in the USA.
I recommend his song Watching The Detectives 🕵🏼♀️
Actually his band is the Imposters because one of the Original Attractions refused to join them again. Bad Blood. So most of the key guys in this video.
The Attractions are such a great band.
My favorite song by Elvis Costello is I Write the Book
This song was my jam! Made me spend many a night in my late teens going crazy on the dance floor! Later got to see him live five times and he’s just fantastic live. Adore him! More of my favs: Alison, Watching the Detectives, Accidents Will Happen, Radio Radio, Veronica - so many more! I think you all might really like Everyday I Write the Book, a really upbeat song. Love you guys!
BTW, his real name is Declan MacManus, he’s from the UK.
Thank you! Love Elvis Costello!
got to do Allison! simply iconic! in the music industry! you say Elvis, i say Buddy holly! i think we are both right!
*Alison
His first two albums came out as I was finishing up high school--good times! I know his later work was highly acclaimed, but for me those two albums defined that era, along with the first Talking Heads album and Television's album, Marquee Moon.
Marquee Moon is a classic. Underrated LPs from 1977 include My Aim Is True, Talking Heads: 77, NMTBHT Sex Pistols, and Pure Mania by The Vibrators, Pink Flag, Blank Generation, Young Loud and Snotty, Rocket to Russia, ...
More Elvis Costello,. Watching The Detective,. Allison,. Oliver’s Army,. Peace, Love and Understanding,.
LOVE Elvis! You have got to listen to "Watching the Detectives" guy is brilliant and comfortable in so many forms
Love Elvis....so many great songs! Olivers Army, Alison, God Give Me Strength, Clubland, Good Year For The Roses....and on and on.
You should react to "when you say nothing at all" by Allison krauss or ghost in this house she has the most angelic voice in the world!
Declan Patrick Macmanus. From his first album, my aim is true, till the middle 80's, him and the clash were my main players. Elvis would come out with an album about every 6 months and they were all fantastic. Intense and full of anger, hatred, and sexual frustration. The music was pure energy. Hardly ever would a song last more than 3 minutes. It was so layered and he seemed to mix several melodies into the same song. It was insane. And the bizarre thing was, even though he was one of my favs from this time, I would hate every new album when it first came out. I had to play it several times before it won me over. Just so intense and powerful. Great great stuff.
...and then he produced the first album of....THE SPECIALS!!!!!!
Yeah, his real first name is Declan and his record company or his manager decided to call him Elvis.....kind of challenging people to say he didn't stand up the to the King.
My fave Elvis Costello song! So catchy! ♥
I can't believe I missed this 10 months ago! I LOVE Elvis Costello!
"Every Day I Write The Book" is a fave! Love y'all!
Love this, Shawn i never seen you so excited about a banger tune. Elvis had so many great tunes "Allison" or "Watching the Detectives" for starters
Radio Radio, Veronica, Oliver's Army, What's So Funny Bout Peace Love and Understanding...endless hits
My favorite of their songs is '(WHATS SO FUNNY 'BOUT) PEACE LOVE AND UNDERSTANDING' also check out 'VERONICA' ✌️💖
Veronica.
Such a beautiful, poignant song. Written as a tribute to his grandmother who had dementia.
Great artist great track,coincidently he produced The Specials album which is truly outstanding !
Everyday I Write the Book and Allison are 2 great tunes, his wife Diana Krull is one of the top jazz artists of our times if you dare to adventure into that, She is amazing. Elvis Costello is one of the great lyricists no doubt.
Elvis "Crazy Legs" Costello just tearin' it up.........
Ahhh Elvis Costello. Another rabbit hole worth exploring. Very original British rocker whose heyday was the late 1970s through the 1980s, though he is still making music today. Some great EC songs to explore:
Alison
Accidents Will Happen
Oliver's Army
(What's So Funny ;bout) Peace Love and Understanding
Radio Radio.
He did a recording with the Brodsky Quartet that was unusual but cool in (I believe) the early 1990s which featured the great song:
Jackson's Monk and Rowe
Real name Declan McManus, got signed after playing outside a music-biz convention or something. They hijacked Huey Lewis' band the Clovers, who'd all gone to England with high hopes, to play on Elvis' first album 'My Aim is True'. Huey schlepped back stateside, almost crushed, put the News together, ended up ok.
Elvis assembled one the rockingest bands ever, the Attractions, and followed up with 'This Year's Model', then record after record of exquisite songcraft.
More? 'Accidents Will Happen', 'Radio Radio', 'Alison', 'Oliver's Army', 'What's So Funny About....', 'Watching the Detectives', 'I Wanna Be Loved' (watch the video -awww - lol), 'Mystery Dance'-banger.
About a decade ago he had a show called 'Spectacle' co-produced by Sir Elton's hubby, David Furnish, and Elton was the first guest. An hour of musical lore and riches, like his(Elton's) debt to Nina Simone and Long John Baldry, who also mentored Rod Stewart. See LJB's 'Don't Try to Lay No Boogie-Woogie on the King of Rock and Roll' and 'A Thrill's A Thrill'. You're welcome. Mos def unwrap that one.
A buddy's mum/mom saw the cover of 'My aim...' back in the day and reacted, "oh, that poor boy". She saw his stance and thought he had polio or something. Mums...pure heart. D
When this came out I was in Vancouver hanging with early punks and new wavers like DOA, the Young Canadians, Pointed Sticks, and well, you gotta check out Art Bergmann: 'Empty House', 'The Final Cliche', 'Bound for Vegas', 'Our Little Secret', and just for you, 'Hawaii'.
Such a great band!
My favourite Elvis Costello song! Love this music!
Amazing talent. Married to the
incredible jazz musician, Diana Krall.
Been a fan for years!!! Great choice, great reaction!
If you're a lyrics-conscious person you can't fail to become a fan of Elvis Costello. But - I also think of him as one of the last capital-S Songwriters, people whose music really is reducible to the very basics of notes words and chords. Some people carry on about his punk-ish/pub-rock-ish stuff from 1976-78, but to really get what he's about, musically speaking, you have to immerse yourself in albums like Imperial Bedroom, Mighty Like A Rose and National Ransom. (Not forgetting King of America, The Juliet Letters and All This Useless Beauty,...and many more).
Oh, and before anyone else mentions it, "everyone knows that drunk talk that doesn't mean anything...that kind of talk is meant to stay in the bar, it's not meant to be reported to the newspapers"
His lyrics are genius! 🏴
This is just the first floor of the scyscraper that is Elvis Costello. Please do check out "Veronica" for the really heartfelt stuff.
This was from his seconde album, This Years' Model. Elvis made a lot of great songs. From the same album you should try Watching The Detectives, or Little Triggers. He dus als some beautiful ballads, I Want You. Or A Good Year for the Roses. Or Gods Comic. I Saw hun a few times.
One of my favorites of all times. Not one bad track.
I know it got mixed reviews at the time, but Get Happy! is another all-time fave.
I love their innocence and intrigue about someone I have been watching and listening to for over 40 years, great channel 👍
saw him on his first American tour and saw him again, and again and then after years and years, saw him before covid and he was still amazing....great storyteller, too.
"Shipbuilding" and "King of America" and " and "Watch Your Step" are gems
So many great tunes by Elvis, Allison, watching the Detectives, Oliver’s Army and so much more!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻✌🏻
good reaction guys, i like this tune a lot, two other songs that are good is olivers army and i cant stand up for falling down, i was bout 15 when this came out, im fom uk,
WoW! so happy you loved Elvis Costello..He was my first singer crush when I was 8 when this came out. His music is amazing. You must listen to more.
Seen him in concert recently---he's still got it
Worth a must listen to is Veronica , his covers of She ,Ship building & Good Year for the Rose's , his story telling one of the best
Such a great talent- go down this rabbit hole
another musical genius from the uk
Heh guys, just want to let you know how much happiness you bring to my life, i'm 71 yrs. old and you bring back to the best days of my life. Great music. Mel, you are beautiful , inside and out. Shawn, your a lucky guy, but also Mel is a lucky lady. Peace
"Radio Radio" and "What's So Funny 'Bout Peace, Love and Understanding".
Luv it. You two explore so many different styles of music a lot from my Era And love watching your reaction it's like sharing a new song with your besties. And of course your enthusiasm and vibe reaches beyond the videos!
King Floyd "Groove Me"...Nuff Said.
Elvis is the MAN!! ✌
I've seen Elvis Costello more than any other band because that man seems to open for everyone. He's still great live.
From a Whisper to a Scream with Elvis and Glenn Tilbrook of Squeeze is another great song
Yes! The first EC concert I saw, Squeeze was the opening band! Elvis sang backup on Black Coffee In Bed.
To clarify: Elvis sang backup on the studio version of the song. I’m not sure if it had been written and recorded yet when I saw the concert.
So love this,..first time I saw him,..he reminded me of Buddy Holly,..its just the whole skinny kid, with glasses,..rocking his ass off,..it's just like he'd been reincarnated, I swear,..and the song,..like kinda rockabilly,..that riff between lyrics,..that part that really gets you jumping, you know,...didn't really take notice of him til the 80's,..this song I think was made in late 70's,..he's such a great song writer,..trivia,..he's featured in a crazy movie, 200 Cigarettes,..Martha Plympton from Goonies,..Kate Hudson,..,..its so funny,..do check it,..keep listening to Costello,..he might have changed his name,..it so suits him,..but he still reminds me of Buddy Holly,..Godspeed, Peace ✌
I think you're right that his parents must have been so proud. His dad, Ross McManus was a British pop musician going back to the 50s, and Elvis inherited much of his dad's talent, looks and style.
Irish
Alison is really nice song of his!!!!
I absolutely adore Elvis Costello! I'm a die-hard fan. He's so animated and talented. You can't help but feel his music. His real name is Declan MacManus. I named my son Declan after him ❤️
Wow I haven't heard this song in forever my mom used to listen to it when I was a kid it brings back so many memories I'm glad you guys did a reaction video to this song it makes me happy when I hear it😊
Another good one from Elvis C. is (Watching The Detectives).
hey guys, i superchatted a song, Bo Burhnam "Goodbye" in the last live stream , hope u didnt forget, much love yall. thanks.
His first and his best.
Luv this song ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
oh wow!!!! how awesome. It's been a long time since I heard this and had never seen the video. Great reaction!!!
His real name is Declan Patrick MacManus. In 1970, his dad recorded a version of The Beatles' song "The Long and Winding Road" under the pseudonym of Day Costello.
I hadn’t known that! An earlier comment said his mom’s pre marriage last name was Costello.
My two locos! Love you guyz! More Elvis and HUMBLE PIE!! ARRIYBA!!
If you like alternative rock there is a group called "cowboy mouth". Their first hit song was "Jenny says" and it's a great rock out group.
Nice! You could spend quite a lot of time digging into the Elvis Costello catalog -- "Radio Radio", "Pump It Up", "(The Angels Wanna Wear My) Red Shoes", "Pay It Back", "What's So Funny ('Bout Peace, Love, and Understanding)?", "Accidents Will Happen", "Oliver's Army", "I Can't Stand Up for Falling Down", "Brilliant Mistake", "I Hope You're Happy Now", "I Want You" and so many others!
"Allison " "what's so funny about peace love and Understanding " "radio radio " angels wear my red shoes
I love this song, glad you did this one
HIGHLY recommend "What's so Funny (About Peace, Love & Understanding)" and 'Radio Radio"
I love Castello. This song is awesome! Got that 1960's physcadellic vibe. Love this!
You guys are so amazing! Love you guys!
Elvis Costello is a towering figure, and his first four albums were among the best things are rock changed into something totally different.
His real name is Declan MacManus. "Elvis" was his choice, not his parents. BTW: His wife is Diana Krall, the foremost female jazz singer of this era.
Nice pickup, guys!
He and Joe Jackson got me through this period in music
u guys are fun!!
I'm 999. Keep it goin'!! Great stuff.
Glad you like this please do Oliver's army and she which was used at the end of Notting hill starring Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts.
Released the same year...
XTC - ARE YOU RECIEVING ME
High power pop punk...New wave...almost in the same vein as this.
His real name is Declan McManus. As his career evolved, he branched into a number of different genres - alternative rock, pop, R&B, country, and even classical. He's written with other famous artists like Burt Bacharach and Paul McCartney and is still recording and performing to this day.
Check out a bit of late 70s UK new wave, Sound Of The Suburbs by The Members. Fun tune!
How can rock and roll be dead when it makes people so happy?
Imagine you are 18 and in a night club half pissed and this comes on .......man this would have the place jumping....
I don’t know why the difference, but in England, pissed = drunk; in America, pissed = angry.
Great reaction. I love you guys. Not everybody even notices the ankles. He's gotta be double jointed at least. Peace
By the way- this song is 44 years old. From 1978. One of his songs that is so appropriate for the time is What’s so Funny Bout Peace Love and Understanding.
That was super fucking cool thank you!
Great pick. Love "The Other Side Of Summer" from him too.
Hi Shawn and Mel. As you liked this you need to hear Watching the detectives. From the same era The Undertones - Teenage Kicks. Ian Dury & the Blockheads - Reasons to be cheerful part 3 . Another rabbit hole.
Don't forget the brilliant bass guitar.
PS His real name is Declan Patrick Alloysius McManus.
Listen to this 2004 performance of Pump It Up, from “Elvis Costello and the Imposters, Live in Memphis.” The energy is definitely pumped up and their commitment to the delivering to this small, up close crowd, takes it up even a few notches. This is one of the finest live documents of my all-time favorite musical artist and his great band.

Happy Mother's day Mel! ❤
Elvis Costello is great! If you want to try a jazz reaction I suggest his wife Diana Krall's music...they're a super talented pair :)
